Hewitt-Trussville (6-1) at Prattville (3-3)
- Class 7A, Region 3
- Date: Friday, Oct. 10
- Time: 7 p.m.
- Location: Stanley-Jensen Stadium
Last week: Hewitt-Trussville lost to Thompson 34-12; Prattville fell to Vestavia Hills 54-28.
What to watch: Hewitt-Trussville took its first loss of the season last year, as Thompson invaded Hewitt-Trussville Stadium and ran away with things in the second half. The final score was a little misleading, as the game changed in the third quarter on a Thompson defensive touchdown, with the Huskies on the doorstep of the goal line. The Huskies will have to wash that one away and get ready to play this Prattville team, one that is significantly improved from a season ago. The Lions were tied with Vestavia 21-21 in the first half last week, before the Rebels ran away with the win.
Last meeting: Hewitt-Trussville beat Prattville 49-7 on Oct. 11, 2024, in the first meeting between the teams.
Next week: Hewitt-Trussville travels to Oak Mountain, while Prattville heads to Hillcrest-Tuscaloosa.
Clay-Chalkville (7-0) at Huffman (1-5)
- Class 6A, Region 6
- Date: Friday, Oct. 10
- Time: 7 p.m.
- Location: Viking Stadium – Huffman High
Last week: Clay-Chalkville shut out Mountain Brook 49-0; Huffman lost to Shades Valley 34-7.
What to watch: Clay-Chalkville has proven itself as one of the best teams in the state, regardless of classification. The Cougars notched their third shutout of the season last week. They should have no problem notching an eighth straight win to start the year in this one.
Last meeting: Clay-Chalkville blew past Huffman 66-12 on Oct. 11, 2024. Clay-Chalkville has won the last 13 meetings between the teams.
Next week: Clay-Chalkville hosts Oxford, while Huffman travels to Mountain Brook.
